Germplasm Collecting Missions Database

The Germplasm Collecting Missions Database provides access to information on all germplasm-collecting missions in which Bioversity has been involved. Summaries of all collecting missions undertaken since 1975 through to the present are stored.

The data include: species name (as identified by the collector), the number of samples for each species, when the collecting mission took place, the country of collection and whether the species was wild or cultivated. The database maintains coded names of each institute that received the collected germplasm.

Germplasm Collection Directory
Bioversity maintains a database with summary information on ex situ germplasm collections worldwide. The data include address information on organisations holding germplasm and summary information on the type of germplasm that is maintained, such as: species names, number of accessions per species, type of accessions, etc. Currently, summary information on more than 5 million accessions worldwide is available.

Bioversity attempts to keep this database up to date by continuously incorporating new information. The updating and collation of ex situ germplasm holding data is done in close collaboration with FAO which provides a similar type of data as part of its World Information and Early Warning System (WIEWS) Synchronization of common data types is achieved through bi-monthly data exchange.

SINGER - System-wide Information Network for Genetic Resources
The CGIAR System-wide Information Network for Genetic Resources is the genetic resources information exchange network of the Centres of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). It provides access to information on the collections of genetic resources held by the CGIAR Centres. Together, these collections comprise over half a million samples of crop, forage and tree germplasm of major importance for food and agriculture.
